Stephen Warrilow partners with Leadership Expert

This week, Stephen Warrilow has teamed up with Leadership Expert to bring a Change Management e-course to Leadership-Expert.co.uk’s email subscribers. This is the latest step in a wave of Leadership Blogging news items all relating to business change failure, and how to avoid it. As Stephen states on his website, 70% of business change ultimately fails. This is due to a range of factors, such as a lack of preparation, over-optimistic forecasts, and crucially – taking care of the organisational change, without solving the ‘people’ issues that will inevitably arise when change is significant.

It would seem that when applying change management, managers are following effective models when it comes to restructuring the business to generate cost savings, or to align the organisation with a new strategy, however they are neglecting the ‘softer’ aspects of change. And this ‘soft’ angle is often the decisive factor that leads to acceptance, and even better; support from employees.

Hopefully, this alliance between two established leadership bloggers will share a fair bit of knowledge in the change management arena! I eagerly await to see what will come!
